Still in DEV?

[seancmalloy]

Is the godaddy dns addon still in dev (will it ever be updated) because it seems like it no longer works. I have successfully use it in past and recently came back to it because nginx proxy (w/ letsencrypt) no longer works with godaddy. I am receiving api error. The key&secret are entered in addon config, I dont recall having to enter them in secrets file or creating acme challenge txt file for this addon. I am ust missing something or does this have the same issues as nginx proxy / godaddy?

{"code":"UNABLE_TO_AUTHENTICATE","message":"Unauthorized : Could not authenticate API key/secret"}

Not sure if Im having the same issue or at least similar, noticed today the dns hadnt updated the the logs show:

{"code":"ACCESS_DENIED","message":"Authenticated user is not allowed access"}

Been working fine for years nothing changed. Tried generating a new key and secret and get the same error message

I understand that this is a new block by GoDaddy. Nothing we can do about it.

as in Go Daddy are blocking API access anyone got any experience requesting it to be unblocked?

https://www.reddit.com/r/godaddy/comments/1bl0f5r/am_i_the_only_one_who_cant_use_the_api/ suggests they are giving different answers but effectively you need at least 10 domains before your account can use the dns api, time to find a new host

Same experience here...certification expiration and no chance to renew it (error access denied...)
I understand that GoDaddy blocked API usage so basically the addon is not working anymore....
Any solution/alternative?

I left my domain at go-daddy but moved the dns to cloudflare for free and then use the cloudflare integration to update dns. When my domain renews Ill move it to cloudflare completely

Issue Resolved with a Different Approach

I’ve solved the remote access issue for Home Assistant with an alternative method.

Solution: Set up an SSH reverse tunnel to a Digital Ocean droplet with a fixed IP address, using it as a proxy for traffic on port 8123.

Benefits:

Simple Configuration: The setup process is straightforward (there is also an add on to install autossh)
Effective Performance: It works flawlessly for accessing Home Assistant remotely via a web browser or mobile app.
Cost-Effective: The cost of maintaining a public cloud server is significantly lower compared to other solutions.
Versatility: The server can also be utilized for other applications requiring a fixed IP, NAT, and firewall traversal.

Additionally, I am considering switching from GoDaddy as my domain registrar due to their unacceptable behavior.
